He said, “You know, today I welded a perfect seam and I signed my name to it.” And I said, “But, Daddy, no one’s going to see it!” And he said, “Yeah, but I know it’s there.” So when I was working in kitchens, I did good work.”
—Toni Morrison (b. 1931)
“If you believe in the soul, do not clutch at sensual sweetness before it is ripe on the slow tree of cause and effect.”
